Review of 14 drowning publications based on the Utstein style for drowning

Abstract: BackgroundThe Utstein style for drowning (USFD) was published in 2003 with the aim of improving drowning research. To support a revision of the USFD, the current study aimed to generate an inventory of the use of the USFD parameters and compare the findings of the publications that have used the USFD.MethodsA search in Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus was performed to identify studies that used the USFD and were published between 01-10-2003 and 22-03-2015. We also searched in Pub… Show more

“…Also, data on non-fatal drowning victims recorded by aquatic rescue organisations and patients admitted to emergency departments and intensive care units will enhance the perspective on the issue [ 3 , 46 , 129 131 ]. Although categorisation systems for clinical studies are available which report fatal and non-fatal drowning data in a standardised way, these systems are not suitable for demographic or epidemiological studies [ 4 , 127 , 132 , 133 ].…”

“…Articles using the USFD have reported against different variables, with some variables such oxygen haemoglobin saturation, presence of cyanosis and time of victim rescue being rarely used. 5 Although the USFD has been revised to more accurately reflect the data that can be collected, to date no study has investigated whether the lack of use of variables is due to investigator choice or unavailability of the data. We intend to investigate and report on the availability of USFD variables in the healthcare system in Queensland, Australia.…”

There are 49 core variables and 27 supplementary variables (4).…”
